How did a bullet change the course of American soccer? In the first of a new series about the long, colorful, and mostly-forgotten history of US soccer, Tom McCabe and Kirk Rudell--old friends, college teammates, soccer obsessives--join forces to tell the story of Thomas "Bullets" Cahill, the 'Father of American Soccer.' They follow Cahill from his tough St. Louis childhood in a patch of Irish immigrants; to wheeling and dealing across the country, sometimes at knifepoint, building what we now think of as US soccer; all the way to the royal box of the King of Sweden with the first US National Team. And they solve the century-old mystery of how he got his nickname (hint: it's actually pretty literal.) Want to see some of what we’re talking about? Video is here: https://youtu.be/djN50Ins9tA
